Child of Nowhere

End Of The World

The Doctor glared at me, the TARDIS already in transit so it was too late to drop me off back on Earth.

"Hi." I grinned, giving him a head bob. "Thought I'd come get my house back."

"The TARDIS is not your house!" The Doctor argued, walking over to the TARDIS screen. I snuck a glance at the ceiling, winking at Idris. "I'm taking you home. Where do you live?" The Doctor asked, nay ordered, for my residence.

I smirked. Time to have some fun with Nine. "With my friend." I said in a sing song tune, smiling deviously.

The Doctor almost glared. "And where does your friend live?" He emphasised that word, as if doubting I had friends.

I threw a glare back. It was true, my only friend was my sister, but I wasn't about to let him know that. "With me."

The Doctor huffed. "Where do you both live?"

"Together." I answered. Rose giggled off to the side. She should get used to this, I had a feeling Doc and I would be arguing a lot.

The Doctor changed tactics. "Where is your house?" The Doctor asked, hand still posed over the computer screen but his eyes were glaring at me.

"Next to my neighbor's house."

The Doctor grunted. I was annoying him, but I didn't care. This was way too much fun. "And where do they live?"

I threw my head to the side, pushing my hands in my hoodie pockets. My bottom lip stuck out in a pout. "You won't believe me if I tell you."

"Tell me!" The Doctor barked.

"Next to my house." That made Rose almost fall the ground laughing. Then, I turned to her. "So, he said this is a time machine, right? When are we going first? Forwards or backwards?"

Rose got back to her feet, still smiling.

"Now, hold on a minute-"

"Forwards." Rose decided, turning to the Doctor with a deviant smile.

I frowned, looking at the Doctor. "Nah, I don't think he can do it." I dared, tsking.

The Time Lord stood straighter, giving Rose and I looks of overconfidence. He took the bait. "How far?" He asked us, pulling various switches.

Rose and I exchanged a look. Now that we knew the Doctor could take bait, it would never stop. "One hundred years." The companion said.

He pulled more levers, bracing himself on the console. I followed, fighting the urge to bounce in place. "There you go. Step outside those doors, it's the twenty second century."

"You're kidding." Rose said.

I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "Only one hundred years? Bit boring, wouldn't ya say?"

The Doctor squinted his face, frowning. "Do you want to go further?"

"If you can." I said with a grin.

"Fine by me." Rose agreed.

The Doctor pulled on the levers and dials, not taking his eyes off us. "Ten thousand years in the future. Step outside, it's the year 12005, the new Roman Empire."

Rose shook her head, leaning against the console. "You think you're so impressive." She said.

"I am so impressive." The Doctor said, offended.

"You wish." The new companion smiled, making me smile at the Doctor's face.

"Right then, you lot asked for it. I know exactly where to go. Hold on!" The Time Lord piloted the TARDIS, making it shake harder than I've ever felt.
